There are evils tolerated by GUS

icate these evils, though they still
claim to be with the right party when
the work is done. SO IL was with
the cause of slavery; SO it will prove
in the temperance movement which
is now going on. Every rational
man and woman knows that the H.
quor curse is uncomfortable in "a civil
lied Christian community, and that
the hight Of intelligence has doomed
it. Why kick against the progress
of truth only to dishonor our own
souls? All the efforts of noble re-
formers are not going to prove abor-
tive. A cause 50 clearly righteous
can not fail.

ALEX ANDRIA.
TUESDAY EVENING, MAY II.

THERE IS popular belief IN the oouth
,bst the war ended in 1866, aud that COM
plete and permanent restoration OF The ira
ternily and equality of the people OF the once
divided sections was effected by the election
of the Presidential candidates Of the unsec'
tional and national democratic party In
1884. But that such belief is utterly erro'
psous is proved by the fact that ex-Repre
sentative Gibson Gays, and that Postmaster
General Villas does not deny, that rule Is
in operation in the Postofice Department
by which no ex Confederate can be pro-
NOTED in that department by the iacl 'ha'
nnder the Presidents civil service rules
not under the laws, be it understood-aIl ex'
Confederates are excluded from the postal
service, and all except those who went into
the army at very early age, from all the
other branches of government service Sab
iect to the civil service law and by still an
other fact, as was demonstrated q short
time ago in one of the departments at Wash
ingtop, that even clerks for whom there 10
no use, the work for which they were en-
uloysd having been completed, can not be
removed, and the amount of their salaries
saved, if they be members of the IT, A H.
and that, too, though nearly all OF them are
drawing pensions besides. AS The South
elects the democratic Presidents, it is to be
hoped it will insist that the man nominated
by the next national democratic convention
will DO one who. if elected, will, as MIR.
Cleveland could if it would please him
to1do SO, obltei ate the sectional restrictions
and inequalities referred to- and thereby
give practical confirmation to the gratifying
belief that the cruel war is really over. The
democrats of the North must recollect That
their Southern brothers are subject to the
natural emotions and feelings of other men,
aud that though they laid down their arms
at Appomattox, never to take them up
again in similar cause, and are now as pa
triotic aud as loyal citizens OF the reunited
country, and have ~ much personal inter-
est 10 being 20, as those of the North, still,
as thew are men, and therefore have the

featine them, and just as naturally, do not
like to be the suhjec:s uf arbitrary and Sec
tional discrimination by the Presidents

TIE LEGISLATURES has refused to accept
the terms offered by the English commission
for the settlement of the Slate debt, and
will ct once proceed in it's vain and costly
ATTEMPTS to set aside and circumvent the
mandates of the U. S. Supreme Court. 1t
really seems as If evil times have fallen upon
Virginia, when the very meR 10 whom her
people entrust her affairs, instead of con-
Quoting them so as to rebound to her inter-
est, apparently at least. do everything IN
their mower to initiate against her welfare
aud prosperity The efectaal and perma-
nsnt settlement OF the State debt was OF in
aaitely more importance 10 the State
and to every man 10 it, and to every
one having any interest in it, than
any mere terms upon which it might have
been settled; but the legislature didn't think
so, and though the payment of the princi-
nal could have been left to the children OF
people vet unborn, it refused to accept the
proposed terms because they provided for
an increase of few thousand dollars IN the
annual interest.

THE PENSION list is now large enough, in
sill conscience, including, as it does, nearly
every Northern soldier who was scratched or
who was sick at any time during the war
But if the proposition of the civil service
commissioners and the President, to increase
it by the addition of all the republicans who
have been, or will be, allowed to grow old in
the civil service, be adopted. the SIZE of twill
forever prevent any reduction in the tariff
on the articles which the poor people of the
country who don't receive pensions are
compelled to buy and consume in order to
live.
